Just a small heads up, I just installed an old school Stewart-Warner temperature gauge in my truck a couple of days ago. Got to thinking it'd be cool to match it for an oil pressure gauge and looked around on Fee-Bay. Found this seller that has them new. This link is for the 0-80lbs, but he has the 0-100lbs as well. And here's a tip, he accepted my offer of $10.

Stewart Warner 82208 1 Oil Pressure Gauge Mechanical 0 80 PSI 2 1 16" Black | eBay

 

Here's the 0-100lbs:

I got the 0-80 so I can see some travel on the gauge, but some may have a purpose for the 0-100.

He's also got the temp gauge that I used, it's one of these, I can't tell the difference right now other than the part #

heres the one I just bought and put in

Do remember, though, that even getting 40PSI from our trucks is pushing it. I'd be honestly surprised to see 40, even when cold and pushing it.
I've personally not seen anything higher than about 35.

Either way, this means your 'working range' is only half the scale; something that had a full-scale value of 40-50PSI would be better for our engines.

Either way, though, it's a good find.

 

i agree. don't be surprised when you only see 10 lbs hot idle oil pressure.
my 88 has only had 6-7 lbs hot idle for over 200,000 miles..

 

That's a good point, my driving factor was trying to match the classic design of the temp gauge I already had so that limited my choice. I figured the 0-100 was overkill so I got the lower of the two options.

Saw that they were priced well and weren't GlowShift so I figured I'd share it here.


You know though, looking at the picture of the 0-80 it looks like it was designed with lower pressures in mind. The lower swing of the needle, 0-40, takes the needle past the halfway mark, while the 60-80 part is crowded to the far right...

 

A design flaw to note on these gauges is there is no provision for lighting.

I have the new gauge here on my desk right now and I confirmed the same issue with the temp gauge I have in the truck.

The Stewart-Warner instructions that came with the gauge are universal and it claims that the gauge is designed for either direct lighting, (hole in back of gauge for bulb and socket), or indirect, (bulb and socket in back of gauge mount casts light through ports in the side of the gauge.), but these gauges have neither.

A heads up in case that's an issue for someone. I'd like to have the lights, but can live without them.
